PATRIOTS NEWS Patriots hire Mike Vrabel to be HC

[Ring 6]

Bama fans hated Bill O’Brien too.

I guarantee you they would have killed to have him back after this past season. They hate Seth Lattrell far more. The Sooners’ offense was far worse this year than the year before with Rees.

They may have been right about BOB.

When was Rees at Oklahoma?

 

[Ring 6]

I hope Vrabel is able to convince / show Maye that things will be different next Fall.

Can you explain what you mean by this?

 

[reflexblue]

It was the playoff game.

Yeah, the last game brady played in a pats uniform, brady threw an int to end his career with the pats.

 

[Sect140]

So on a delicious side note….The Pats do visit the Titans next season. Think Vrabel will have that game circled?

That would be a good road game to go to.

 

[KCSVEN]

Checked out Taylor Lewan’s claim that Vrabel will help Pats win one score games.

I counted Vrabel was 28-23.

He was 4th in AFC in 1 run games behind Steelers, Chiefs and Dolphins but search says he was 30-23

 

[Zuma]

Can you explain what you mean by this?

I agree...it's a very confusing comment.

 

[BUSTAMOVE]

I think we'll see big changes in keon and barmores play for the better.

Especially Keon
He was not happy with Mayo’s coaching and style
I remember he said something during BB year. That he likes to be coached hard

 

[KCSVEN]

Bama fans HATED him

I’ve read tons of online comment I didn’t get that at all.
Almost 100% consensus he was much better than BOB.
Early in the year he got more negative comments but lots of positive as year went on and recently after Milroy playing worse this year fans are commenting he was better than they realized after seeing what he did with Milroe who regressed without him,
Many comment about seeing a modern offense was great after BOB

Come on down! I’ll be there

I counted again and I believe you are correct.

But 1 run games?

 

[Huckleberry1]

We just don’t know. I think Kraft needed Vrabel more than the other way around. The jets and bears wanted Vrabel also

I agree with this, and my guess is that Vrabel used that leverage to get final say on player personnel.

1 score I meant‍ oops

 

[imahobgoblin]

haha 5 years of being right. The NFL won't let us win for another 5 years.

You being a Jets fan is just not right. Neither is trolling a Pats forum.

Come on down! I’ll be there

I don't remember the name of the place, we happened to go to the place that is Nashville's official Patriots fans bar. It seemed like a great place to watch a game. I am sure management is happy with the coaching decision. Do you ever watch games there?

Keion, definitely. I think the guy is a sponge, and has to be pushed hard to excel. He can't put it together himself yet at age 25. He is all business and very logical. He does not want a coach who is an emotional support animal (Mayo). Vrabel is going to kick him around and he will explode in 2025.

Barmore should have never taken the field. He was not in great football shape and he should have been slowly taken care of. I wish they kept him out the whole season. That isn't to say that would have solved the blood clot issues, but it would have allowed him to monitor it better.

 

[PScottman]

But 1 run games?

Sox need help too.

 

[upstater1]

Ton of weak teams on our schedule in 2025, Pats and Vrabel have a chance to turn it around record wise pretty quickly if they can get the right players in FA and draft.
Bucs, Bills twice, Bengals, Ravens are only games against good QB’s. 12 other games we will likely have the better QB.

I hope they throw a load of money at a bunch of DL and LBs. Having a D that can stop the run and cover backs out of the backfield is worth 2 or 3 wins alone.

The WR and LT problem should be much more difficult to solve.

Even Mayo knew that tough teams stop the run and run the ball enough to keep the other teams defense honest. There is no value in having a great offense if they can't get the ball because the opposition is chewing up the clock by running the ball for 3.4 yards a play. Especially in the playoffs.

Will talk to the guys. My wife and I and four other couples went there in September of 2023. Had a blast.

Is that why he let the NYJ and the Jags punch us in the mouth?

He simply lost his way.
